Description
These are enjoyable, social paddles for those that like to get their exercise on the water, while taking in the great views from our blueways. Run by our experienced, qualified and friendly coaches, these will be guided trips with coaching as needed, including advice on efficient paddling and paddling for fitness.
Prerequisites
We recommend that participants should be at least 14 years old and be able to paddle at an easy to moderate rate for the duration of the 2 - 2.5 hour session.
This course would be suitable for anyone who has completed one of our Learn to Kayak Courses or has gained some kayak touring experience elsewhere. These trips are not for first time paddlers.
Equipment
We will provide all paddlesports equipment you need; kayak or canoe, spraydecks, paddles, buoyancy aids and helmets.
We will be using sea kayaks for this trip.
The only thing we can’t supply is your personal paddling wear.
For these trips, normal outdoor clothes suitable for the prevailing weather (tracksuit, fleeces or walking clothes and waterproofs, including shoes to get wet) are perfectly fine. If you have a wetsuit, that's great, please feel free to wear it, but it is not necessary for these trips at this time of year.
A full set of dry clothes including shoes and a towel are essential to bring for your comfort and safety.
Facilities
Please plan not to have to use public toilets. Depending on the venue there may not be changing facilities available. Arrive ready to go paddling or change at your car as many paddlers do. A changing towel and a mat to stand on make this a much easier and more discrete process, or a large bin liner to sit on on the way home in your paddling kit works well too.
General Information
All our courses are open to all. You do not need to be a member to book.
We aim to be as inclusive as possible. If you have any additional needs please contact us to see how we can accommodate you.
Note: You need to be logged in to add yourself to the “waitlist”
Customer comments
"We took out family membership after watching how much craic our son was having & how it helped him regain his fitness levels following a football injury. The coaches are so skilled & supportive . We now enjoy paddling on the lakes & in the sea, most months of the year. It’s hard to describe just how relaxing it is & how beautiful our local scenery is. I think we are all the better for it - and a bit fitter!" - B
